Keno was created in 200 before Christ by the Chinese military commander, Cheung Leung who utilized this game as a finance resource for his failing forces. The city of Cheung was waging a battle, and after some time seemed to be facing national famine with the excessive drop in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to develop a quick response for the economic disaster and to acquire income for his army. He, as it follows invented the game we know today as keno and it was a fantastic success.
Keno was known as the White Pigeon Game, seeing as the winning numbers were delivered by pigeons from bigger municipalities to the smaller villages. The lotto ‘Keno’ was brought to the United States in the 19th century by Chinese expatriates who migrated to the United States for work. In those times, Keno was played with one hundred and twenty numbers.

Despite the fact that the odds of getting a win are terrible, there is always the possibility that you could hit quite big with little gaming investment.
Keno is enjoyed with 80 numbers and twenty numbers are drawn each round. Gamblers of Keno can pick from 2 to 10 numbers and gamble on them, as much or as little as they are able to. The payout of Keno is dependent on the bets made and the matching of numbers.
Keno has grown in universal appeal in the US since the end of the 19th century when the Chinese characters were replaced with more familiar, US numbers. Lotteries were not covered under the laws of gaming in the state of Nevada in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos renamed the ‘Chinese lottery’ to ‘horse race keno’ utilizing the notion that the numbers are horses and you want your horses to come in. When the Nevada government passed a law that taxed off track betting, the casinos swiftly adjusted the name to ‘Keno’.
